Modified Type 1F Unbound Mixture (0/20) (A10.1)

A10.1.1

Modified Type 1F Unbound Mixtures must be made from natural aggregate (excluding uncrushed flint based or quartz based gravels), recycled aggregates, manufactured aggregates or well burnt non-plastic shale, or a combination of these, and may contain up to 10% by mass of natural sand passing a 4 mm test sieve.

A10.1.2

The mixture must comply with BS EN 13285 and the grading requirements of Table A10.1.

A10.1.3

Aggregates used in the mixture must be in accordance with BS EN 13242 and Table A10.2.

Table A10.2 Requirements for aggregates used in Modified Type 1F Unbound Mixture
Crushed, or broken and totally rounded particles crushed rock, crushed manufactured and crushed recycled aggregates (see NOTE)	C_90/3
Resistance to fragmentation – Los Angeles test	LA₅₀
Resistance to wear – micro-Deval test	MDE NR (no requirement). The supplier must state the value for the aggregate used
Resistance to freezing and thawing – magnesium sulphate soundness	MS₃₅
Water absorption	WA24NR (no requirement). The supplier must state the value for the aggregate used.
Volume stability of blast furnace slags	Free from dicalcium silicate and iron disintegration
Volume stability of steel (BOF and EAF) slags	V₅
All other BS EN 13242 aggregate requirements	Category NR (no requirement).
Note: BS EN 13242 assumes that crushed rock aggregates comply with category C90/3 without further testing.

A10.1.4

The size fraction of the unbound mixture passing a 0.425 mm size test sieve must be non-plastic, as defined by BS EN 17892-12:2018, and tested in compliance therewith.

A10.1.5

Where the mixture contains recycled coarse aggregate or recycled concrete aggregate, it must be classified by hand sorting the coarse aggregate particles in accordance with BS EN 933-11. The test must be carried out by a suitably trained laboratory technician competent in classifying the constituent classes in accordance with the test method. Recycled coarse aggregate and recycled concrete aggregate must also comply with the requirements of Table A10.3.

Table A10.3. Recycled coarse aggregate and recycled concrete aggregate used in Modified Type 1F Unbound Mixtures
Component	Maximum permitted content (% by mass)
Asphalt (Class Ra)	50
Glass (Class Rg)	25
Other materials (Class X), including wood, plastic and metal	1

A10.1.6

The Modified Type 1F Unbound Mixtures must be non-frost susceptible. Material is classed as non-frost-susceptible if the mean heave is 15 mm or less when tested in accordance with BS 812-124. Comparator specimens with Annex B of BS 812-124 must be used.
